Martino Gamper

Screen #2

The Italian-born, British-based designer Martino Gamper is possessed of unstoppable creative force, most famously realized in his project 100 Chairs in 100 Days. He has been widely influential for his incorporation of existing elements into design, often in a way that manages to seem rudimentary and sophisticated all at once. One important implication of his work is that anyone can make brilliantly inventive objects, at relatively low cost. Gamper’s recent polychrome screens in the bargain-basement material of linoleum evoke a long history of abstraction in the format, including examples from the avant-garde artist-designers of the Omega Workshop.
